Life and register readings

MUHAMMED NİMET EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1830/31 (AH 1246) into the İslam community. The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi).

MUHAMMED NİMET began work in Istanbul in 1858/59, at about 28, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1858/59, with MUHAMMED NİMET as Postahane mekatib-i ticariye mukayyidi and no place named. Next came Elazığ and Kirkuk from 1863 to 1866. Alongside, the lists for 1867/68 give a second post, in Adana as Posta müdürü. Alongside, the lists for 1867/68 give a second post, in Trabzon as Posta müdürü. The annual lists then follow MUHAMMED NİMET to Tyre (Sur) and Haifa (Hayfa) from 1873 to 1876. Alongside, the lists for 1875 to 1878 give a second post, in a post with no place named as a district governor (Kaymakam). MUHAMMED NİMET then moved to Damascus (Şam), Latakia (Lazkiye), Mosul (Musul) and Trabzon, four places in 11 years. Alongside, the lists for 1887 to 1889 give a second post, in Ankara as Evkaf muhasebecisi. Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1891 give a second post, in Jerusalem as Evkaf muhasebecisi. In all, 11 places, a number reached by only 42 of the 6,605 officials with a place of service.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1858/59 to a peak of 2,000 in 1870/71, when nine in ten paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1890/91.
